DVD Review ZOMBIE LAKE (BLU-RAY)

No doubt one of the biggest disasters in the already uneven Jean Rollin catalog, this entry is laughably awful.

Nice transfer. Rotten movie.

DVD Review WHITE ZOMBIE (BLU-RAY)

Kino may have committed a huge miscue with the rather grotesque digitally restored transfer offered here, but the film remains a classic in its own right. The superb commentary track from film historian Frank Thompson and the unrestored 'raw' print are reason enough to pick this up. Recommended (but certainly NOT for the primary transfer).

DVD Review WAR OF THE DEAD (BLU-RAY)

This sure seems like an interesting, shockingly original take on the soon-to-be-tired zombie film, but my gut tells me that there won't be much here to like.

PR Big Tits Zombie on DVD Nov 20

In this high-voltage Japanese gore-comedy, a medieval Book of the Dead is discovered in the catacombs that run under a small town strip club. When one of the desperate strippers unwittingly raises an army of the undead, the rest of girls are forced to kick some zombie ass to save the world. Campy, raucous crowd-pleaser that is definitely not for the whole family...

DVD Review JUAN OF THE DEAD

How will Havana respond to the zombie apocalypse? This zombie comedy from Cuba is sometimes scattershot, but also pointed, gory, and funny.

DVD Review THE NEW YORK RIPPER

Italian exploitation master took a step away from the supernatural for this rather standard (relatively speaking) serial killer flick. He didn't, however, tone down on the sex, violence, and, most importantly, gore.

DVD Review THE CRAZIES

Ever have one of those days when everything seems to go wrong? Like your entire town is filled with homicidal maniacs, and the government would just as soon see you all dead? This remake of the unheralded 1973 classic by George A. Romero hits a lot of the right notes although it's a little hampered by a less than stellar cast.
